Dry your eyes, it's just goodbyes.

I'm trying hard not to make this overly dramatic.  I'm not even going to spell out my exact reasons why.  I'm just giving everyone who cares to read this what they deserve for taking the time to listen over the last seven ye...

 
 
 

Sony & TLG: The Last Broken Heart

I don't even know if this is going to be worth reading.  I'm not going to mince words, I'm emotionally affected by the subject matter of this post.  I'm hurt.  And I'm going to use lots of colorful language, loads of hyperbole, and I'm go...

The Past: Oreos For Breakfast

I was three.  Just turned three, in fact.  Late December, 1985. I was spending Christmas with my family at my Aunt and Uncle's house.   My Mom was pregnant with my baby sister, and I was a criminally-precocious kid who had rocketed out...

Skulltoid: Skullgirls On Steam

I will admit, the first time I heard about Skullgirls, I wasn't really all that interested in it.  I mean, I knew it was indie (which should be supported), I knew it was high-quality in terms of art assets (even if a little heavy on fanse...

 
 
 
 
 
 

Nasty Dtoid Advertising Part II

I always try to catch these and repost them when I see them. Nasty unintentional innuendo?  I'm on the case! That just sounds dirty, especially with that dude's eyes staring at you like that. Eesh. Click on the picture for a link to th...

A Plea For An Intervention On Capcom's Behalf

Capcom.  Capcom, Capcom, Capcom.   What are we going to do with you? See, it used to be that I'd anxiously await news of a release from my favorite publisher.  I used to be so happy when a new Mega Man game would be announced, or a new ...

 
 
 
 
 

Dtoid Ads Could Use Some Goddamn Commas

Hilarious shit I've found here on this site today: WARNING: ONCE YOU'RE INSIDE YOUR FRIENDS WON'T BE SEEING MUCH OF YOU! ...sounds way dirtier and truer to the "18+ Game" vibe than... ONCE YOU'RE INSIDE, YOUR FRIENDS WON'T BE SEEING MU...

 
 
 
 
 

Stupid Rumors (And Red-Hot Hyperbole)

The Necessary (R)Evolution Of Megaman

Evolution is necessary. Let's just get that out of the way, first and foremost. Nothing survives in this world without changing, without adapting to the times and the environment that surrounds it. Sometimes all it takes is a simple m...

 
 
 

Turn And Face The Strange...Ch-ch-changes.

About Everyday Legendone of us since 1:32 PM on 08.24.2009





I am the Everyday Legend, and I am a male, 31-year old Florida native and videogame fan of the most epicurean order. I'm also the father of a very precocious (almost) three-year-old daughter, and a newborn daughter as well!

My natural state: very, very tired.

I got into gaming when I was 5, and my Aunt and Uncle had an NES that they had bought because they thought it was the coolest thing ever. As a matter of fact, they weren't too far off of the mark. I was introduced to Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt (naturally), and soon followed up with the very first Zelda. I remember the very first game I beat by myself - Megaman 2, in 1989. I was six at the time.

Shortly after that, I played Street Fighter II for the first time in a local skating rink and was hooked. Bad. Like, smack-habit bad.

I remember playing against the college kids that would come in there to hang out and chill - there was a lounge connected to the place that you had to be 18 to get in - and a lot of these guys used to come in and spend a ton of time and money on playing SFII. I learned how to play from these guys, and within a year, I had become just as good as they were. I was hanging out with people almost twice my age, and conversing with them on their level about a mutual passion - and that's where I've been ever since.

Videogames don't make up my entire life: I cook, I write, I sing, I have a full-time career in IT and am still attending college for a degree in Computer Science, then moving into a Masters in Information Systems Management. Gotta have goals.

Nothing beats a good trip to a good bar where they serve good beer and have a good selection of good tunes. Also, chilled Junmai Ginjo (unfiltered) sake is the nectar of the gods, in case you weren't aware. Of course, those trips are very rare these days, because there is always another diaper to change, and leaving your kid at home in the crib is never an option if you want to be able to look at yourself in the mirror.

Oh, and I really, really love sushi. I can put away amounts of that stuff that some may label as borderline genocidal. I put species of fish on the endangered list singlehandedly. I'm not ashamed. It's their own fault for being born so damn delicious.
